The local market
Metro Manila is the main centre for the Philippines shortlist, with agencies including Propelrr, LeapOut Digital and SEO Hacker. English-language delivery, regional operating experience and competitive engagement levels make the country relevant to both local brands and international buyers. The strongest recurring capabilities are SEO, content, growth and emerging GEO services.
The service brief
Ask every shortlisted agency to show recent seo work that resembles your site, market and internal delivery model. Confirm which recommendations the agency will implement, which require your team and how success will be measured.
The commercial comparison
The shortlist contains 3 in $, 2 in $$, 0 in $$$. Treat the bands as a starting point for scoping, not a quality scale. Use one written brief so team seniority, included work, contract length and reporting can be compared fairly.
